One hour a daywould make an ignorant man a \v. 11informed man in ten years, Onehour a day would earn enough topay for two daily and two weeklypapers, two leading magazines anda dozen good books. In an hour aday a boy or girl could read) twentypages thoughtfully—over seven: em . ml i ,< ■ ••! • ■1 it< nvolumes iii a year. An hour a daymight make all the difference be-tween bare existence and useful,happy living. An hour a daymight maki—nay, has made an un-known man a famous one, a uselessone a benefactor to his race. Con-sider, then, the mighty possibilitiesof two, four, yes, six hours a daythat are on the average, thrownaway by some of our young menand women in their desire for funand diversion.Much of the so-called friendshipof the day is but pretense. It ex'ists only in name and as soon as itceases to lie advantageous it isdropped. The friendship that con-tinues the same in prosperity anda Iversity is to be prized, but alluthcr kinds are worthless. It mat-not how hard a man may struggleto do right and make a success oflife there is always some loathsomereptile, some worthless wretch whois ready to drag him down, to blighthis hope.- and Mast bis fondest am-bitions. The loss of money andproperty is not the greatest loss aman can sustain in the businessworld; far better to lose your mon-ey than friendship.Work For The Bridgenbetter markets for your cotton, com and hou—it means money in yourpocket.ii'! \ it> ill".word, keep still—keep out of the way—don't stand on the Track ofProgress.We Are InThe Race lo WinThe Pun ell-Lexington Bridge means more lo the Farmer than anyone else.
